Global Interact, a premier conference for meeting and event planners around the world has wrapped up its latest conference in Vancouver, Canada.

Hosted at the beautiful Vancouver Convention Center, meeting planners were able to meet industry suppliers and learn of interesting venues and properties around the world in which to expand their offerings to clients.

In addition to networking with exhibitors at the two-day trade event, informative educational sessions were offered to attendees to help hone their skills and expand their knowledge base. This year's event featured a panel discussion of international meeting planners, which included Forum Publishing's director, Martin Stevens, who participated as a panel member. There was also an informative discussion on emergency contingencies given by a leading expert in risk management.

The conference could not have been more successful and well planned. In addition to meeting top vendors and suppliers and networking with the movers and shakers in the business, special tours were set up to acquaint the participants with the beautiful city of Vancouver.
